Rishi Sunak is an individual with immense integrity, ability and experience and is exactly the Prime Minister our United Kingdom needs at this time of economic difficulty. I was proud to support his campaign in the summer, as well as more recently vote for him to become Leader of the Conservative Party.
I know from speaking with local residents on a daily basis how concerned many of them are about current cost-of-living pressures, as well as about the serious situation in Ukraine, demands on the NHS and the need for better investment in schools and infrastructure.
Since being proudly elected in 2019, I have always flown the flag for Hastings and Rye and look forward to working closely with the new Prime Minister to continue delivering on the manifesto commitments made, including levelling up. Rishi Sunak has been clear that, whilst tough decisions lay ahead, these will always be made with compassion and economic competence at the heart of the Government's agenda.
